Yahoo Web Hosting Drops Its Prices, Great News for Beginners

January 27th, 2012 - Posted by jeff

Yahoo's web hosting has always been a great service for beginners, except for the price. Now Yahoo has made it even easier for beginners of web hosting to access their suite of services by dropping the prices for all their web hosting options.

The cheapest plan is the Basic plan, for $4.99/month, but NextAdvisor readers get an extra 25% off for three months, bringing the price down to $3.74. The Basic service comes with 100GB of storage space and 1000GB of data transfer allowance a month. Or you could upgrade to the more popular Advanced plan, which is $5.99 for the first three months and then $7.99/month after that. The Advanced plan offers 500GB of storage space and 5000GB of data transfer allowance a month. If you think you are going to need more storage/transfer space, you can get the Premier plan, which is unlimited, for $8.99 for the first three months and then $11.99/month after that.

All of the plans offer Yahoo's user-friendly interface and intuitive site builder, along with many other features that every beginner will need. To read our full review of Yahoo Web Hosting and to take advantage of the new pricing, click here.

Which Simple Web Hosting Service Should I Use?

November 12th, 2011 - Posted by polina

Q: I am a writer of fiction looking to start a website where I can publish stories and set up PayPal. Which web hosting service should I use?

A:  Among all of the web hosts we review, there are a number of services we recommend for beginners and those looking for a more simple option. We recommend Yahoo! Small Business web hosting for those  who are less tech-saavy. It has an intuitive PayPal shopping cart builder, easy-to-use control panel, and great customer support. Get it for 35% off the monthly price and have a free domain for life. If you want true site design (what you see is what you get), Lunarpages is another affordable and simple service that includes the easily installable osCommerce, CubeCart and Zen Cart Shopping Carts as an alternative to paypal. 1&1 web hosting is another great option that includes intuitive 12-page site building – use the different pages for each of your works!  It also offers a very full-featured website creator and integrated blogging platform.
